At Nazareth our goal is to prepare professional nurse generalists who not only possess an in-depth knowledge of nursing, but also provide culturally congruent nursing care to individuals, families, groups, and communities in and across all environments. Our curriculum is rich with humanities, biological and social sciences as well as the teaching of a trans-cultural nursing framework.

Program Offerings

Nazareth College is fully accredited by the Commission on Collegiate
Nursing Education and is registered by the New York State Education
Department. Nazareth College offers a broad range of courses in the
liberal arts, humanities, nursing, and the sciences to help students
achieve educational and professional goals. The program provides
students with the breadth of knowledge that characterizes the
well-educated professional, so students are prepared to face the needs
of a changing society and to obtain leadership positions in the health
care field.

All potential nursing students must meet the general college admission
requirements. Students should also demonstrate proficiency in
mathematics and science. Students in their first two years of study must
maintain an overall GPA of 2.75, with a minimum grade of C in all
required science and nursing major courses. Students must maintain a
cumulative minimum GPA of 2.75 to progress in the nursing major. The
College reserves the right to withdraw a student whose level of
achievement, clinical practice, health, or professional conduct
constitutes a risk to self or others.

The nursing department estimates the specific costs for uniforms, shoes,
stethoscope, and so forth for four-year licensure students to be around
$600.

Graduates of this program are eligible to take, and must pass, the
NCLEX-RN examination to become a Registered Professional Nurse. The
program awards a Bachelor of Science nursing degree.
